The Tampa 2 is not Gun's cup of tea, nor did it fit with our personnel. It's also outdated.
But Gun's average at best, even without a forced upon him sh*tbag scheme. So he has to go.
Gun only looked great when he was surrounded with very very high talent.
We need a D-coord. who can put a decent defense on the field with only 75 - 80% of the puzzle put together.
With Gun, we'd have to wait till nearly every single positon was upgraded with a very high caliber player, just to have an effective defense. And with the state of our D right now, that could be a very long wait. No Thanks.

I don't know why people insist up and down that this defense failed because of the Cover 2. That's part of it. The Chiefs don't run a pure Cover 2. They integrate a lot of blitz packages and blitz a lot more than people suggest. The problem is that our guys are so poorly disciplined in disguising the blitz and because Gun has an extremely low imagination for innovative blitz schemes.
Gun is not running a defense outside of his wheelhouse. The defense still runs a Gun-style defense quite a bit, and that has not worked either.
